2010 Pellissippi State Hot Air Balloon Festival
October 1-2, 2010
Up, up and away…well, not quite away. Balloon rides are tethered, but it’s still a terrific opportunity to experience what it’s like to fly in a hot air balloon. Our pilots generally take the balloons up 50 – 60 feet for tethered rides. Exact flight heights are determined by a number of factors, including wind and weather.
Tethered balloon rides are available on a weather permitting basis. All balloon times are approximate.
